Jets fans may need to go deep into their pockets in order to buy season tickets in the future.

The team sent out a survey to season-ticket holders this week, asking them if they would be interested in paying up to $30,000 for a “personal seat license” when the Jets move into their new $1.3 billion Meadowlands stadium in 2010.

Twelve NFL teams – including the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers and Baltimore Ravens – sell PSLs, which allow pigskin fans to buy season tickets and give them ownership of those seats.

Like a stock or taxi medallion, PSLs allow football fans to sell their seats at a profit if they no longer want them.

“This holder can then sell the seat license in the future, including for any profit, to someone else if the holder no longer wishes to purchase season tickets,” according to the survey sent to fans.

The new stadium, which will house the Jets and Giants, will have 82,500 seats, making it the second-largest stadium in the NFL, after FedEx Field in Washington, DC, which has 91,000-plus seats.

The most expensive package is for lower level seats, where the Jets would charge $5,000 up front, then $5,000 a year for five years in PSL fees. The season ticket itself would cost $1,650 a year.

The cheapest option is in the upper level corner, where seats cost $200 down, $200 a year for five years and $1,000 a year for the ticket itself.

PSLs have come into existence in recent years as stadium costs continue to soar and city and state officials become more reluctant to spend tax money to build new venues.

The Jets said they have not yet decided whether to institute PSLs.

PSLs have also proven to be a wise investment for deep-pocketed fans.

For example, the Panthers – whose seat licenses were sold in 1996 for between $600 and $5,400 each – are currently selling PSLs for $3,000 to $20,000 on Internet auction site eBay.
